What is Solid Edge Integration in Nora IPLM?
The Solid Edge integration in Nora IPLM runs through the Nora IPLM Windows Desktop Services application, enabling seamless upload and synchronization of Solid Edge data into the cloud-based PLM platform. It connects your CAD environment directly with PLM, ensuring better control and collaboration across teams.
- CAD file management with version history and revision tracking
- Synchronization of Solid Edge metadata with PLM objects
- Linked CAD data across BOMs, documents, change requests, and workflows
- Support for complex assemblies, structures, and multi-disciplinary items through hybrid BOM capabilities

CAD Data Management
Securely store and manage all Solid Edge files within Nora IPLM. Ensure that every part, assembly, and drawing is organized, searchable, and version-controlled.

Revision & Version Control
Track every design change with precision. Maintain a complete audit trail of revisions, ensuring that teams always work on the latest approved version.

BOM Synchronization
Automatically extract and sync Bill of Materials (BOM) from Solid Edge into Nora IPLM. Keep engineering and manufacturing aligned with accurate, real-time product structures.

Assembly Structure Management
Visualize and manage complex product assemblies directly within Nora IPLM. Maintain relationships between components, sub-assemblies, and configurations.
